If you want a super special experience in a high quality guest house with your own chef and staff then Tintswalo Boulders is the place to stay. The property overlooks the amazing Penguin Beach which only adds to the unique experience of staying here. We would highly recommend this as a very special 5 star place to stay.

Warm and memorable stay

We had an amazing stay at this hotel and would really recommend it. The staff, especially Vicky, are warm and welcoming. They went above and beyond with making our stay memorable. My friend had an excellent spa experience and they were very accommodating. Vicky was able to make a special restaurant reservation for us at the last minute which was wonderful. The hotel feels like a guesthouse and the view of the sea and the penguins are incredible. We look forward to coming back.

I attended Mining INDABA 2025, and due to not booking my accommodation on time, I ended up staying in Simon's Town, which is an hr drive from the Conference Centre. Tinswalo is located in a quiet and predominantly white suburb of Cape Town. It offers breathtaking views, and the place is superb. I highly recommend it for couples going on holiday, honeymoon etc. Every day, while eating breakfast, I would overlook the penguins on the shores of the ocean. The staff were helpful and professional. I will definitely return with my wife.... Being a foodie person. i enjoyed every meal. talk of the Rooms clean and everything was flawless.....

Perfect views of boulders beach

Beautiful B&B right on boulders beach with unobstructed views of the water! The best part of this B&B was the location. Would recommend staying 1 night to wake up early the following day and see the penguins. The staff are very friendly and helpful and property itself is very large and nicely styled.

A must stay in Cape Town!

Absolutely incredible stay! My friend and I were traveling for a few weeks and ended our stay here, couldn’t have been a better way to cap off the trip. Service: impeccable. They are accommodating and kind and so helpful. The food was AMAZING and the views were the best (we could see the penguins). I would tell everyone to stay here at least once in their life!
